I feel your pain. I was born and raised in Hawaii and being older, many of my friends are remarried to Koreans because of the "Korean bar" influence over here. I feel for my good friend who really has to watch what he says to his Korean wife. What we might consider hilarious is not funny at all to her and vice versa. Unbelievably hailarious!

Jay Lee - dont be surprised if the translators for the korean version driver test in australia went overboard with the terminology, its pretty much the same thing but in reverse when i crossed over from my australian license, first completed a 50-question korean language test, then was told to do a 20-question english-style test because thats ‘what foreigners do.’ i got a higher score in the korean one but a lot more laughs reading the english one .

Wouldn’t it make more sense to simply pay the person who is stamping your paper?" It's called demarcation- And if you don't like it- We'll call the Union.

It's the same reason that Americans need visas to enter the country but Canadians don't. It's that kind of "Oh you don't acknowledge our junk...we're not going to recognize yours either!" mentality. Shaun,

Anyways.. now that I'm not in an alcohol induced moment of posting.. I should say I feel your pain. I was worried that I would have to write a test.. but I just had to run around the complex and get the tests done (I answered my numbers in English.. because I would have had to think a bit to rattle out the Korean numbers). I did find it interesting that I didn't have to know any street signs or what could be important changes in the "rules of the road." I wonder why Canadians don't have to write the test but Americans do. And thanks for the post.. was definately a laugh. Thanks Jay. :) I’ll give it a shot. 메롱.

The kind of Korean language used in these type of exams are unreasonably hard. I had an option to take learner licence test exam in either English or Korean but I chose English since it was easier for me to comprehend even though I am fluent in Korean.
